Snurfing on a Snurfer

Nothing against the mighty market-clever snowboard, but it does not snurf.

Great Snurfing and fantastic job filming...nice steady camera work! I always wanted to take my Snurfer to a ski resort to see what a long run would be like. I'm surprised they let you on the lift!

Thanks - and good point about the lift. Always ask first. In my favor, my wife is an employee for 15+ yrs and, when I first asked, the old Patrol director had been on duty in 1982 at the 1st snowboard/snurf championship. No guarantee others would be granted the same access. Many green circle trails with 2-4" can be done top-bottom. Blues are tougher; I was pushing my luck on 1/29 and don't always stand up! J

Sherman Poppen rules!

Snurfing is tied with bodysurfing as my favorite sport! Snurfing down a hill or mountain is a different experience than snowboarding. The sensation feels like a mix between waterskiing and surfing. It is a great feeling and more challenging than snoboarding and skiing because it does not require as much speed and incline to peform challenging maneuvers. Snurfing is made for noncompacted snow.

I love riding those things! I got one of the same middle as the one on the right and I have a yellow one.

I still have mine. when my Burton Elite 150 - 1986 was on lay-away...i practiced with the snurfer and also a heavily waxed Powell deck turned backwards and used the kick tail as the nose...Amazingly, I learned to carve with it, totally different than today's boards, you had to put all your weight on the front foot and do a kind of kick-slide to get the board pointing in another direction.Back then, it was so new and seemed an impossibility to most, just riding on a small hill was thrilling!!!

if you want to see what a true snurfer is capable of then search for this video "Worlds first snowboard". It is amazing super 8 footage of two snurfers in 1968!
